What the Hell has happened to men? (Page 3)

Question

So here's a girl asking men a question? What the hell has happened to you in the last generation? One generation ago, out fathers, when they took a girl out they looked SHARP. Clean shaven, nice haircut, crisp white shirt, a tie, jacket and shined leather shoes. They put out some effort to compliment the appearance of their date. Comfort is not a factor given that the woman was in heels and hose and she had spent a lot of time on her appearance.  Good example last night, dinner in a pretty nice but not upscale restaurant. The next table over, young lady in a LBD, heels, hair in a prim bun, looking really nice. The guy she is with is wearing cargo shorts and flip flops. He does not look like he bothered to shave and he needed a haircut weeks ago. And to top it off, he was wearing a ball cap- to dinner with a lady. Why she was even out with him. let alone sharing a dinner table with some goofas is beyond me.  Whats happened guys? Where's your sense of personal pride? Don't you enjoy looking good any more? I'm glad I'm older because the likelihood is that the men in my life will be old school- just what I like.

I dont mind low maintenance guys or with a casual style. I mean casual style and comfort is more important as long as the person looks clean.  I honestly dont understand what's wrong?

What happened is that your generation did not educate their kids properly.

The only reason men would change anything is because women changed first so we adapt

"Clean shaven, nice haircut, crisp white shirt, a tie, jacket and shined leather shoes." Your standards are literally higher than my job interviews.. lol..

demonics · Answer

Whats the point/incentive? To quote Dave Chappelle "If a man can fuck a woman in a cardboard box, he wouldn't buy a house." Gotta give to get sweetie. Women just aren't impressive these days.

Bluedream13 · Answer

lol yeah the younger generation of women have the superficial stuff dead on, it's EVERYTHING ELSE they are lacking why would a man even put any effort?

HungLikeAHorsefly · Answer

Let me get this straight... you think men from the hippy generation looked SHARP? Or maybe you meant leisure suits?

StickStickity13 · Answer

Honestly, women have changed. Why must men remain the same if women have changed so much since then? That type of date is dead now.

xTom98 · Answer

Im glad this isn't pointed at me, I take good care of myself and dress to impress 😋

AlphaMaleTruth · Answer

Leave men alone we have no benefits in any relationship so we come as we are no pretending. Why do we need to impress a woman who has most likely slept with every guy in town? The entitlement of you thots or western women is insane

FakeName123 · Answer

single motherhood + shaming&purposefully destroying masculinity + no male role models

jrighter · Answer

That's a good question but really I am so thankful that you even asked this question. Its pitiful what goes on today, but it should be made aware to younger generations

DamnMan · Answer

"Why she was even out with him." None of your damn business. lol. Unless it's about you, then don't worry about the next person.

JeniferJenko95 · Answer

Well, social media I guess.  Social media ruins both men and women. It’s ridiculous.

Anonymous · Answer

They have grown up with little guidance from father figures in their life’s. And the parents didn’t take the time or had the time to “mess” with them. Family values were pushed to the side when both parents had to work and what extra time they had went into their selfs.

Anonymous · Answer

This happened.

Anonymous · Answer

Feminism has poisoned society and emasculated males. They have used media and their bullying tactics to strong arm any male'ness out of society.

JesseAllart · Answer

Well Rhonda, this seems to be stereotyping. Since when does this guy represent the all the men in the world? I mean, there are 3.5 billion men in the world, and you assume that if one man looks shabby, all men look shabby?

TrixiePooch · Answer

Redthread sends up red flags that he must live like a slob and takes no pride in his appearance girls. LOL

bubbatxman · Answer

I blame Jimmy Buffet and Mark Benioff (CEO of Salesforce). Don’t worry, dressing up is making a comeback.

Wowgirl10q · Answer

You tell me I've never been one?

lovetobreed · Answer

Don't want to offend the lady but your views getting outdated & I hope they will be erased together with your generation which worked so hard gg or do long to brainwash their sons. Kind regards & best of luck.

ImJustCurious13 · Answer

I fully agree with you. But one of the many reasons that young men don't put work into their looks is because they think women will think he's a "nice guy" and will reject him.

Jack_L_andTurn · Answer

1. Random sample (s) do not apply to an entire gender. 2. I, for one, never try to apply my standards to the choices of others because it is none of my business.

worldscolide · Answer

Nothing happened to us.. There are a hand full of men out there that just dont care any more.. Trust me they are in the minority.

BeautifulClassySmart · Answer

Men will ALWAYS be assholes. Either you're willing to compromise or remain single, independent, free and with your own mind.

ck1818 · Answer

U dono why he was like that though, buddy could have just gotten off work making ched and called up his girl otw yo scoop her for dinner reservations in 20.. lol clearly she was with him for a reason. Swear people judge everyone these days.

d_e141 · Answer

When I appeared in a restaurant wearing a suit and tie with my girlfriend some people looked at me awkwardly like what the heck is he wearing or he's overdressed for a date.

Anonymous · Answer

It's called being comfortable. Do you even know these people? More so than likely this guy has already been going out with this girl. Stop worrying about it. Nobody needs to wear a fancy suit and an oversized dress on a date anymore.

krity · Answer

Im old school if i take a girl out im suited out, and i wine and dine her. But your right modern dating has changed its not really the norm anymore

Mark1021 · Answer

I guess for me I do like to dress up anytime I go out. I’m not sure what’s really going on with this generation.

Anonymous · Answer

Oh shut the fuck up with that sorta talk ya snob. Ya wanna be shallow and judge by appearance, you are free to do so, but I already know many guys are gonna say the same as me and arguably harsher. PLENTY of women do the same shit. STFU already and don't tell us what to do! You DESERVE all the dissing comments you got. Hopefully you'll think before ya post next time judgy ass snob.

Levin · Answer

Haven't you got anything better to be thinking about?

furiousrat · Answer

Well I can only speak for myself and I overdress all the time. I always try to be the best looking in the room no matter where I am

Silver158 · Answer

Can honestly say I've been guilty of this. Think the issue is more people use the term "hangout" rather than "date" these days. I mean you don't get dressed up to hangout with your friends, so why would you get dressed up to hangout with a girl.

lovedejj_xo · Answer

Nothing happened to guys... it’s the guys you pick realistically.

PressOn · Answer

@Rhonda333. Never seen so many responses to one question. I agree with you.

bente2 · Answer

Girl, shut the fuck up. Just because those men are your type doesn’t mean they’re everyone’s type.

Pentagram_medallion · Answer

So true like they didn't less around they manned up and asked the girl out as well

LonelyGuy87 · Answer

Feminists. Men are finished. More and more young men are failing while women are succeeding. But when it comes time to die in wars they'll send all of us.

Anonymous · Answer

Let me guess... you're also going to complain that guys don't always pay for your dinner too, right? Mmm hmm.

Anonymous · Answer

We are living in a more casual period. The Edwardian era of dressing for events wore off over the past few decades--especially since the 60s.

PaeganGod · Answer

Lmao? This is exactly how it should be. Dressing up is useless.

I_want_to_sleep · Answer

Women happened 🤷🏻‍♂️ fuckin feminists are to blame

brianjoseph · Answer

What if she was out to eat with her brother? Maybe it wasn't a date?

RationalMale · Answer

A generation ago young men weren't dating women who had already had 10 sex partners, either.

WeirdoWerdo · Answer

1 guys does it and every guy in existence must do it? Do you think that every guy in existence does this because one guy does it?

Anonymous · Answer

Not all men are like this so dont categorize all guys as one group of disrespectful men who are assholes that dont give a fuck about how to treat a lady because that guy is an dick who needs to learn but just dont categorize us as all pigs.

Anonymous · Answer

Definitely younger guys you’re talking about, I would never go on a date looking like that even if it was casual, sounds like he just got back from the beach. I may not go in a suit but I won’t look like I don’t belong

Anonymous · Answer

I mean.. Society turned on us in a pretty ugly way. Masculinity has been under attack for decades. No, younger men don't really have any sense of what it is to be a man anymore. Thank feminism. This is the utopia they wanted.

Lance1965 · Answer

I notice that all the time too. It seems not many guys put much effort in these days.

MadMacCrow · Answer

Maybe we started thinking that appearance is far from what there is to look for.

valualty · Answer

The difference with old generation is that women were worth it 😉

rpgeek · Answer

Culture changes. People want different things now, it's not just our fault.

French_kisses · Answer

Internet is what happened apps like tinder have made women more accessible without having to put a lot of effort into it.

Reddwolf · Answer

I agree with you on this I'm the generation behind you and I do look good but I don't like the whole suite thing I just don't get this new generation

name_is_eric · Answer

Liberalism, that's what happened. Aren't men supposed to be men, not caring about fashion and looking "pretty"?

Anonymous · Answer

at some point we realized it's just not worth it anymore. Girls are playing too many games and we get tired of going along for the ride.

Fuentes · Answer

Lol cause he's prepared for that car sex afterwards
